My question still stands.

I can't say whether or not they have overstated the improvement, but I can say that the lag in the original was pretty bad in my experience.

EDIT TO ADD: For those experiencing lag issues, I would recommend playing through an amp with the Realtone Cable going from the output jack on your amp's effects loop to the USB port on your game console.

There will still be some sound overlap & delay issues between what is coming out of the amp speaker & what is coming out of the TV sound system, but the instant auditory feedback from the amp will make the lag much easier to deal with.
